BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now.

Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?

GORE: Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.

But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

He didn't invent the WWW.

It was invented here by Bell labs. It was originally used for research purposes and this man was NOT part of it.

But instead of patenting his invention he chose to put it on to the internet the following year, opening access to all – and the rest is history.

How can he put the world wide web on the internet? Isn't the web the internet?

Al Gore isn't going to like it that somebody else is taking credit for his invention.
